Believe
In response to self-doubt
This is for Donna Fox, a sort of conversation in poetry.

Barnacled old stories,
Eased by repetition,
Lie without even knowing they do.
I see the subplots,
Eloquence lost in the shadows,
Voicing what else might be true.
Elaborate the untended tales, these too belong to you.

And the poem to which I respond -
About the Creator

Exploring New Beginnings: Amanda Larson’s “January First” Captures the Promise and Reflection of a Fresh Year
January has always held a special place in the human imagination. It is a month that marks both an ending and a beginning, a moment to reflect on the past while looking forward to the possibilities ahead. In her poem “January First,” Amanda Larson encapsulates this duality with remarkable grace, offering readers a meditation on time, renewal, and the quiet, often unspoken emotions that accompany the start of a new year.

Such an encouraging acrostic, especially in response to Donna’s… good on you ✅

-Believe- Love the response. It successfully reinforces and compliments Donna’s poem.
I think I need to read them in order! 😁
I’m blown away by this, Hannah. One of the best poems I’ve read
What a fantastic reply.
Delightful. Intelligent. Fun to read.
This was so profound Hannah! I loved it!
Elaborate the untended tales is a beautiful call to action, Hannah! I love your answer to Donna's poem!
Love the originality.
What a beautiful and thoughtful response. 👏
well written piece, so pure
This made me feel a bit teary. Fuck all of you. lol. Bastards. Honestly, though. Love that you wrote this, for Donna specifically, but that anyone could read it and like Donna's, as Michelle said, it matters lots, it's important messages. Well said, Hannah, well said. And Donna, don't forget it.
Read both yours and Donna's, Hannah, and both were beautiful acrostics that matter. Lots.
Hannah this is such a clever acrostic!! I love the double edged sword you used to pen this, it feels like both a word of warning and still uplifting!! Thank you my friend!! 💚
